Save a buck! Earn a buck!

I promise, I'm not turning this into a review blog or money saving blog. There are so many great women out there who do that so much better than I could! I do enjoy running a giveaway every once in a while though, and when I find something I really like I enjoy sharing that as well.

So today, since I'm not feeling up to tackling a lengthy blog post which I really plan on doing soon because I still owe you all an update on that behavior program we tried with Noah, and I owe Kiel his two year letter. Soon peoples, soon!

Anyway, today I'm going to share two websites with you. One saves me money and one helps me make a little extra money.

I'd actually be surprised if you are the parent of a baby or young kids and you don't know this website, but just in case... it is diapers.com.

Enter Referral Code: mntblog

Fast Free shipping for orders over $49. Most orders will arrive within 2-4 business days from time of order.

Not Valid for existing Diapers.com customers.

Other Terms and Conditions may apply. See www.diapers.com for more details. No cash value.

I've been ordering diapers from them since before I was pregnant with Kiel. They offer free shipping for orders over $49 (I've never had a problem coming up with an order that qualifies), they accept manufacturers coupons (so you can take advantage of all those great coupons diaper companies send out when you first have a baby), and you can easily see and reorder products you've purchased before.I also love that with diapers they break it down and show you how much it costs per diaper, so it is easy to compare cost between brands.

They also sell way more than just diapers. Every time I log on they are offering something else. I've always found the prices to be reasonable and competitive.

This weekend they are having a great toy sale with discounts up to 40% off.

If you haven't ordered from them before you will receive $10 off your first order. If you use my referral code mntblogI'll receive a credit towards my next order.

It's basically a search and win site. I have it set up as my home page and do any searching from there. It uses google and ask.com for its search engine. You earn Swag Bucks from searching and also from swagcodes that get posted. You then redeem the Swag Bucks for a variety of available products. The most popular item is a $5 Amazon e-gift card.

Just by using Swagbucks as my homepage and doing my searches in it I've earned enough swagbucks to redeem for $30 worth of Amazon e-gift cards since I joined in September. You earn even more swagbucks by getting referrals. I don't have any referrals yet, but if you happen to be intrigued by Swagbucks and sign up by following one of the links on here I will!

I've been having fun seeing how many Swag Bucks I can earn in one day, plus its a bit of a game to see if I can find the swagcodes or figure out the swaghunts. It's basically free money from doing what you normally do online. So click here, check out the website and see what you think! Then signup!

"Who are you?" Noah asked me once. I didn't have an answer for him. Join me as I attempt to figure this out.So, who am I?

Like I said, I'm working on that, but here's what I do know.

After seven years of infertility my family is finally complete. So join me as I figure out how to have it all, while figuring out what "all" is.

Cast of characters:

Rich - aka Amazing Daddy (AD) - husband and father extraordinaire. My partner in this crazy parenting adventure. Not to mention my soul mate and best friend for the last twelve years.

Noah - aka The Boy (TB) - despite a six month detour in a Russian orphanage, still my "first born." Challenged with ADHD, attachment issues, sensory processing disorder, PDD-NOS, and most recently bipolar disorder, he still charms and amuses us daily.

Kiel - aka Baby Brother (BB) - our science baby. Not linked to us by genes, yet still carried within me for 41 amazing miraculous weeks. The culmination of seven years of fertility treatments, including several IUI's and three IVF cycles.
